Huntleigh Sonicaid* Cardiotocography (CTG) Fetal Monitoring
Sonicaid FetalCare Heart Rate Analysis :
Sonicaid FetalCare provides an objective, numerical and consistent assessment of the CTG - clinicians can rely on a large database of collective experience to support their own visual assessment.
* Reassurance for clinician and mother
* Consistent interpretations of CTGs
* Measurement of short-term variation (STV)
* Low STV is predictive of metabolic acidaemia and impending intrauterine death
* Identifies abnormal trace features
* Takes the gestational age of the fetus into account
* Trend graphs allow you to track subtle changes in the CTG over time
* Numerical definition of reactivity
* Objective analysis of the CTG
* Reduce monitoring time

The innovative and stylish design of the SonicaidOne delivers…
Pocket Ergonomics. So small and lightweight that it’s easy to transport and store. It’s simple to use and comfortable to hold.
Refined Performance
One model meets all your requirements. High sensitivity and wide beam coverage – locate heart signals quickly from early gestation to full term. The fetal heart sounds are heard in excellent clarity and the large, high contrast display can be easily read.
Designed for you
The recessed buttons and ‘memory’ volume control add to the unique styling and workfriendly ergonomics to create the ultimate in ease-of-use. Advances in materials have enabled a light, yet rugged unit including the curly probe cable for increased reliability and extended product life.
Lower running costs
Over 1000 one-minute examinations and auto-shut-off mean there is no fetal heart detector with better economy.
The Sonicaid Team range is designed for simplicity in fetal monitoring. The units are small, easy to use and lightweight and can be transported effortlessly within hospitals, to clinics, doctor’s offices or even the home. The Team range offers new PC interface for trace storage and analysis. Featuring a 6 hour trace memory with fast print, the unit has a large graphic display providing clear monitoring at a glance. Color coded transducers make setup easy. Remote monitoring is possible. Paper is easy to load.
Features
Compact and lightweight EMR Compatible Twin fetal heart rate scales; avoid difficulty of interpreting offset or overlapping traces Easy to use menu system allows fast access to important functions Modem and network connections for remote and integrated obstetric management Graphical display showing on-screen FHR and Toco traces continuously updated.
Twin fetal heart rate scales provide the clearest differentiation between two heart rates and avoids the difficulty of interpreting offset or overlapping traces
* Obstetric management interface as standard
* Scrolling display of fetal heart rate and uterine activity traces
* Six hours of trace storage
* Records can be annotated at the touch of a button
* Maternally sensed and automatic (Actogram) fetal movement detection
* Tachycardia, Bradycardia, Signal loss and Cross channel rate verification alarms
* Twins (TeamCare Duo) and Intrapartum (Team IP) variants
* Care Antepartum CTG analysis provides an objective, numerical and consistent assessment of the CTG. Clinicians can rely on a large database of collective experience to support their own visual assessment
* Trend provides clear periodic changes over time in the FHR. For use during the 1st stage of labour, clinicians are quickly highlighted to changes in the variation, basal heart rate and deceleration size.
SonicaidFetalCare
* Computerised Fetal Heart Rate analysis
* Trace viewer enables traces to be viewed on screen without the need for the paper trace
* Electronic archive of trace for later retrieval and audit
* Remote monitoring for 'at risk' mothers to be monitored at home or local clinic
* Compatible with Windows2000 and XP
Sonicaid FetalCare Clinical Application Guide
Preface
Advances in technology over the past 30 years now enable us to assess fetal health using safe and noninvasive ultrasound techniques. One such technique is fetal heart rate monitoring, and in pregnancies where there is fetal compromise the fetal heart rate contains crucial information with regard to the optimum timing of delivery. The features of the fetal heart rate are well understood, but numerous studies have shown that expert assessment of traces is prone to inconsistency. In addition, when junior or inexperienced staff review traces important features may not be noticed with the danger that critical decisions are delayed. Computer analysis of the fetal heart rate using Sonicaid FetalCare or the Care analysis built into Sonicaid fetal monitors is therefore a welcome and much-needed way of standardising interpretation to the highest standards. Such analysis, while not a substitute for clinical judgement, captures an enormous amount of clinical experience and in effect brings it to the bedside. This booklet provides some background to Sonicaid FetalCare and explains how it works and why it is useful. I hope you will find it interesting reading.
